I don't think this is a list of the top riders. This list is from a year ago (check the file date), and is obviously out of date and based on who attended events a year ago, promoted by the web site with the list. There are several top riders who do not appear. If this is a list of the top riders, the biggest miss, as is too often the case, early kiters are listed as top riders when they are lucky if they make it past the 1st round of any event.

This list was just the group of people who were registered to compete in the Cabarete leg of the World Tour. Silke was beautiful wasn't she. It was MArtin Vari's first comp and at the time these pics were taken not many people knew who he was. He is now by far the #1 kiter in the world. It was also Andre Phillips 1st comp and you will see him quite a bit in the future. You will never be able to get a list of the "best kiters" cus many of them never compete. But for the best professional kiters who compete just ask http://www.pkra.info for a list. What is going on in the event in Margarita now?
